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.

“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9R6cmleo
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1t2r0KahZ
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQv4LTr4Qm
"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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOamnZsIzre
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLt32Mjtth
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBm6jQU9J2
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKTAsq3yTV
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybsyKU9ZF8
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpftWbPsYjo
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbM9KG6ZUt
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nFYFCQuu9
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?"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFfVb7FVI2
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXsvjsETe1
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl85370m8v
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4OqoVnI3b
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1iztRRYRK
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4OIIWhLDr
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapD4P3bD5n
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKkOzvAsV
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."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk5uKXFVmU
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32bTwcgXH6
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPzcaZy63U
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNTqulMr9n
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDHnxDlSYz
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTexRqd9Q9G
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ykAfRrvh
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKPKDT3j8
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!"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZGLLyaNB
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnatDqpVAn
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."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemP284aFzD
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN3gzZUWHg
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8MBMwU691
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."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1R3OWC0zc
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk8cP05gBD
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzINJdYHxdB
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy8WQFFtoz
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Dr42WL2l
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmV5bMlK4O
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAfssX7DdC
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78QaFsIaMF
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ccHg0Hzd
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.
390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsTD2uI1lN
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.
