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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEGtHoKh38
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xqq290os
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYELvH5sFEb
From that moment, Yzak felt like he had been touched by an angel. He was confident enough to beat everyone, and he did.

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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfweHCSezCv
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndmXYnRlRA
"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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MuAczdoAw
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVhSC4W8eY
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkFFpY2Xoz
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6PXWenVw5
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWFVCMhdgM
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLApe0teQq
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaUWOXu8vd
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EqQZAQ5pY
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?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSmqWDxV7u
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSG8fSEMLN
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5KrZ6iie8
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WOF3qV0qn
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzggUa3xZV
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmqSL5g4hz
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonUxpMYBAg
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHldI1ZkDrs
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."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40B4ei7lBQ
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyWD2JjQpL
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYe5Cll8tJ
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRonXH5AIH
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kpshBshe
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgphbX5xJoA
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkcGDA1vwh
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96uw2ythfH
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAhPwRoaiq
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!"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vdHN7BJaE
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIeoGWGDMY
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."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mbKakhsAB
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPa9ibkw73
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r8xR4quGk
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."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqLl6Y2eus
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTZCYWPPIy
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1YnAZJYt0
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xaw6vb2f3
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb944cbFJj
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HbqryyHDK
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvDBDwpKZq
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvNDE8EcSt
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIIJ0SDHH
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.
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19votu3d2w
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.
