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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp1riXnQpn
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdVzgisTJA
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHMxS6I6ET
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZz44gesXJ
From that moment, Yzak felt like he had been touched by an angel. He was confident enough to beat everyone, and he did.

The group of male racers congratulated Yzak on his win, and Heine hugged him, telling him how proud he was of him.

They all went to the bar to celebrate Yzak’s win, and he finally felt like he had found peace and closure.

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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvNdoSRBCX
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzUdAj25Rq
"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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfBJzvoZWh
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED7nvHj3KE
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twdhZVSUr
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAeUYAvtSW
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZavWGmStpA
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSWiWZzBBH
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxykjpGVxl
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiLGiq9PYK
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?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJH5JWmGSR
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfCIuv9n17
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h2AqJLGK8
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb8ERPpS5j
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqxCda8ApL
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqE7fW6m8a
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW2nPozGSi
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujjWJS07tj
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahAp6IUmEC
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZPrgm9tqy
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95XyKYpc7
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xvmQ5T5G
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBTOYngst
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4btVC4Ebv
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwn8VXrTI
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfwIOhTmEU
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJZequu1n1
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!"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqspWW2xK3
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMslSOVZNJ
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWGqXRH5u
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxKNmqrhdY
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXXIuOrIi7
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."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOngmtj4pS
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gfiRwM70K
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AyxMxejxg
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVfs1kywLm
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ZmIJAe9L
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwx9aV1SYr
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdgLLrxULu
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wdsVxyx3v
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn2zWhDdiJ
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.
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKbuaoHyxD
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.
