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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCUdNYm0cL
The racing competition began, and Yzak was in the lead, with Alex, Heine, Ryan, Shane and Derek tailing behind.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jo4jyLdwT
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpUAxtCzsA
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEBSXGtIp
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HFUl6jBg
From that moment, Yzak felt like he had been touched by an angel. He was confident enough to beat everyone, and he did.

The group of male racers congratulated Yzak on his win, and Heine hugged him, telling him how proud he was of him.

They all went to the bar to celebrate Yzak’s win, and he finally felt like he had found peace and closure.

Even though Kiara was no longer with him, Yzak knew that he had his group of friends to lean on and that she will always be watching over him.

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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy5IxObJWw
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJLjTc1NM
"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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo9lyUMVtO
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUsgbPe0Dw
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GLtofuNa
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LUQCRN4LX
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhHxpCFjkl
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnqa4NYWuR
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTFzHwUivI
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Bpzo0EAh
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?"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3OM5KKr5s
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxkPgB5sZj
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkezilMiL8
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPjVjfgUA
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjHFfVBNM6
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zExXvYvT
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGNOcLswEr
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEODTNgCAQF
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."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc0tV3hRh3
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSMQYJy8Ah
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RTGP4hRFT
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2koEwhe2x
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4FjGTPY2
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDQrQTuwJ
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F0Q7wDjWA
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S2B9QhEf5
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqdWB4UfD7
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!"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrtDHv4g3y
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uR48SVpnX
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."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5TwzrOGKA
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDbboyQN3m
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgUKDIUibz
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."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciUkJcBNTe
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVN8vPNcpy
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwYW7otjz
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7WRZXfsS
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGzuqHgzKj
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH36Pdxi6m
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4gWSnSBF8
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXtEoaeBGm
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQdRpD7k09
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGa6CJdsM
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.
