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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvY4hvMRXF
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2YG6sU4bN
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZgovX7Y2h
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTe7cwWWio
"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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlKdCULT00
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKP9ch9OYd
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHsmrmeBM7
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3APKIw6m29
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnh8yv4c30
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Drd9Y1TN
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhsK6cl5lN
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTKy74yVv2
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?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFRYqayVBm
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiqVW20VYU
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHm8YFRX9B
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1NKDGoHn
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ThRUE9LOc
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaCqf4PAo
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYPj3BmdEK
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77aVZMONFM
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wAcKGpljH
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh5gqwioeK
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS66yCrfKjn
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI73BrDvrom
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1EbiJOPO
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6JjFKXOCY
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHTGztQYu
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFBEncD0SU
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!"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOBMC2lW7q
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD8UIoP11P
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSBQu1qR9
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3apn9Fd5x
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDUSodmpM
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."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3hMHHlyao
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe3wrQUPVy
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jTqh6AsTy
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCyeqNabLJ
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRqSPLFIih
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1N07Kr03P
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvsTdkZ9M
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBeS4fuDK
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2MQzEAaXl
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ia1gNW7IA
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.
