Yzak was nervous, he hasn't been behind the wheel since the accident that took Kiara's life, but he could feel his adrenaline pumping as he got behind the car's wheel.

The racing competition began, and Yzak was in the lead, with Alex, Heine, Ryan, Shane and Derek tailing behind.

Yzak felt alive again, he was back in his element, the feeling of the wind blowing into his face, the sweat dripping down his forehead, and his heart pumping rapidly as he drove.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruF4mhiN6p
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5O9ZehfCl
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2T4pg6E37
From that moment, Yzak felt like he had been touched by an angel. He was confident enough to beat everyone, and he did.

As the night went on, they continued to catch up and talk about their lives. They laughed at old memories and shared stories of their current achievements.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zalSodVo6
Yzak took a sip of his drink and leaned back in his chair, looking around at his friends. It had been way too long since they'd all been able to get together like this.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX45lRFe24
"You guys remember that time we tried to sneak into the movie theater without buying tickets? And we all got caught and had to run out the back door?" Yzak laughed at the memory.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5xG3n2CRp
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL6UfMaWyX
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGbkZDDzkH
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr7eyv1J1T
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORNTx1Y8Ss
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RVcq8dXrZ
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRZgrrXjz5
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZXlWGWMQ3
Heine suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh man, do you guys remember that time Alex tried to ride his bike down that hill and ended up crashing into that tree?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b3EbZFrar
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvCVHclIBw
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piSg0CGz5
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhaFH8qUQZ
As the night continued on, the stories got wilder and the laughter got louder. For a few hours, they were able to forget all their worries and just enjoy each other's company. And in that moment, nothing else mattered.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8WRMz7qS1
It was then when Yzak decided to share his plans for the future with his friends. He revealed that he wanted to start a foundation in Kiara’s memory to help young drivers learn about road safety and responsible driving.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqa4cVyaoP
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvGhCMfBv
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Elfid3ei
Shane: "Me too, man. Kiara was a good friend and I want to honor her memory. I can spread the word about the foundation on social media."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBVw2VLN7Y
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoIEhtUqa
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dx2H6ZL4
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVuT6wsNcX
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZO1DDyMZ0
As they talked about their plans, they were all reminded of the importance of road safety and responsible driving. They knew that Kiara would be proud of them for turning her tragedy into something positive that could help others.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXFnucZfpo
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvATgg9XK8
And with that, they all raised their hands in agreement and got to work on making the foundation a reality. Together, they knew they could make a difference in the community and honor their friend's memory in the best way possible.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbhxKHQidj
As the night came to an end, they all knew that this reunion had brought them even closer together. They promised to keep in touch and make more memories together.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Gn9bjbZz
Yzak let out a contented sigh as he leaned back in his chair. "Man, tonight was amazing. I haven't seen you guys in years!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKJ7sEf3U2
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr22StXBPu
Shane chimed in, "Yes, but we should make it a little more exciting next time. Maybe we could do something adventurous, like bungee jumping or skydiving."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGuxZrdH2
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKCBDCzE6y
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTwfWANBxk
Derek, who had been quiet most of the night, finally spoke up. "You know, I've missed you guys a lot. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch as much as I wanted to."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30XFbSxQP
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP62pBd6E2
As they finished off their drinks, the conversation turned to old memories and inside jokes. They laughed and reminisced until the bar began to empty out and the staff started sweeping up.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJDqeWqDh
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2d5e2KCQ
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi8On8cvWw
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CoGxV1paa
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I1c9yMuTf
They all laughed, and the memories came flooding back. As they walked to their cars, they promised to keep in touch and make more memories together. Because no matter how much time passed, they knew that their friendship would always remain strong.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1juYZYdNlW
Driving back home, Yzak felt a sense of peace and closure. He knew that Kiara's passing had changed him, but he was also aware that he had people around him that loved him and supported him.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pcv8F3cgw
Even though he missed her dearly, he knew that Kiara would have been proud of him for overcoming his fears and doing what he loved.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFCDOJT8eJ
Yzak smiled as he made his way home, feeling grateful for the reunion that had brought him closer to his friends and helped him heal from his past.
