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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiR5WW8bUo
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8zETxkWlQ
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJevs3QNCo
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwePImWcR
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZeOogzYY
"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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2vzMet5tt
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V0LYNtL9O
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9nBsh47l6
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvzzKx3dJH
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYn0UubK8Q
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh0fSA92gz
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOmaBV42Ka
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsKHQL1NCw
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?"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfQPZubKw5
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2iBkO7gbZ
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj51WJM0reI
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jr6KY7egW
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBCuOLFl4u
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjSe4ECvSb
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN1onL4F1b
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkNOZuIDZm
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."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTx64KWAiK
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1F0IzJ0CK
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycQcXmNlmo
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tmx7UTBkJ
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUQXvl403K
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aNzKgMe8a
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qGVgF4DTw
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.

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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL1zBVSQiX
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!"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn1PVGnh3E
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGoxutCdQv
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."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEtO3A6mXy
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXsWGclpOQ
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t5CiR3IwV
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."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8rukCMIgB
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Wsz7RwPJ
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6yKpVxQAN
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8ci6mk4q3
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybPbnutt2
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrtpSdUWN
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInnDfuDST9
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWYyEH0jiK
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtAWjAAv2i
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZSs6Igh5f
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.
