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.

In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOE9LzEiB4
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XvNqfmLlG
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaWk6dMHUA
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd2qBto6EU
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUBVZiPpEj
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxz5qO1G1F
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMaPt1v6F4
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfCGF4huud
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJcQmKn3z
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV2Q3e6WqH
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8OFRMBZo6
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejntrrjyBA
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?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFFnnHSten
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE6yNF1WG7
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN1OBkfd11
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKnwWBLB0J
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfe79OlPE9
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jGdpCONtu
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvNGQN0rJ8
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kBuHV3cmN
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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpp9qgwln
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU7QYEHCFW
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXPuFDjjFs
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFb2kVR7nn
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT87y7wvL7
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY9KzGRJ3P
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VzbneRoJm
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSDpvvGxl
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!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVwnmSlajt
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptdi6DDNqU
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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEoJSyxwAi
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QWCn8uFuf
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaH2HkXGeY
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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhpyeY5XxI
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAURV3VHW5v
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18BTgoszl6
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrbT5OTygI
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5Ci5KtuL
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y86Kp9XR6
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmEeTLd9b1
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.

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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvmbxXVMna
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiEwyjOQDx
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.
