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.

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.

In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM0bn5I9V2
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRRrG9Yuy0
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yNOdau31b
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUeMQhzXzo
"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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ6ELBG4ly
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn68AfmEhmD
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIlmljxuV8
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZjr2o1qxs
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYpwYc7qPN
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9p0hu84w5
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohxeRWJyqa
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1NIwj0Mic
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?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFA7NXY1Rb
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL8X4rqUxT
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpwcOeL0v2
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKSARMVRPq
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbdw4uqkT
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYqOwQjNPB
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG0a4lPTOm
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQJzbcI8b
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."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJmM5zZM98
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpiHsW1C3h
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOi8zHJ48V
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDQwaYzyG2
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSerBNMn06X
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4czyeET6
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4YZZ2j4B6
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9WquBCnBs
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ap5TN0y4v
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!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hPOiDUgJ7
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnwfmMTp3l
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."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeycJB81qlu
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnVBYZvDhe
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRWNTapy6W
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."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfMQrSNTIZ
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWZZYV85zQ
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYewpcXBNg
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mLmzJQjx
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUSKtqoQTw
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx26BZNLTU
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMcIqM3Hm
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFChwypUJo
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl4492e7bK
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.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnxc50eM6
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.
