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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIohxIccx5t
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bGAZuWkwF
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNgeYF4XCY
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSkxwuYYst
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlR4b1MyN
"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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVypqu37xlV
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN7D7HNRtR
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CEaDci8ky
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaI3vrBuTG
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSC5yyUnPF
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5g8jduOw
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsMkejJtru
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeOVQyctF
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?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q6rCPajGs
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtxC0rPb7i
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyp9Pr1j29
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMlbzOMysb
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADF1EEsB2C
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4YA5cgWDz
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFBFqMP0uE
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydzlbKh8LN
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7IfHEcUv
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMksOAORO
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrNnJqXyNb
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikNQNdqgbS
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJx0m4ddj
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwFbPCozJ
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyAcc2tUvi
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDqg2MIzTQ
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvszSJqwMDq
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!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVreMxsixoi
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCq6VC3clX
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QTbJxUUh9
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0nF16b3bD
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWcYC2M5b8
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."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZueNCqxZc
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19y4udtky5
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAImdQNGtwI
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkBhsD13Ie
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlRGaTEIfJ
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcWKyJXWeN
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC7vyaAfRo
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcIIXUO7iF
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2QeLQsHv
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.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI8FzXZp28
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.
