Secrets that they aim to hide

My name is Igor; I'm 22 years old. I consider myself a good person, even though I am frequently referred to as the opposite. I'm still living in my parent's home. My mom is a sweet person, and my dad alike, but unfortunately, he got a stroke recently and can't move or talk. I am really worried about leaving my mom taking care of him by herself. I need to find a caregiver soon.

I was chilling in my room when I heard someone opening the door; It was Martin, my best friend. He is always bored and used to popping into my home and trying to convince me to hang out with him. He asked me if I would be upset about him coming in my bedroom without permission. Despite my 'occupation' was important and was keeping me busy that day, I gave him attention for 2 hours. I didn't accept to go out with Martin, as much as he tried to work on me during all his visit.

I was really worn out. I got some rest last night, but it wasn't enough for me.
When I woke up, I caught myself restless, walking around my room. I was kind of foreseeing that a bad break is coming up.

My dad was sleeping and looking safe. My mom was in the other room, and I believe she was also asleep.

I felt like taking a breath outside my house, and I did. I was walking on the sidewalk. When I stepped off it, I could observe a mysterious car driving towards me; the driver definitely tried to run over me, but he failed. I was desperate; I only thought about rushing out. I felt confused, because I wasn't able to distinguish between hallucination and reality at that moment. I was scared of. I got back to my house and I went upstairs to my room. I crashed upon my bed. A few hours later, when I got up, my memory of the event was simply receding little by little. Essentially, I forgot what happened during all the morning, and when it flooded back, I couldn't be sure of the veracity of my recalls. It could have been either a delirium or someone who really did kill me at dawn.

The doorbell was ringing early; it isn't common to have someone over in the morning. My mom was close to the front door and answered to that who was ringing; it was my friend Martin again. "Can I come in?", he asked. She let him in as usual. He looked for me in my room. "What are you doing here so early?", I inquired very surprised. "I received a disturbing letter today, which has no sender's name written in.", he said. Awkward! Firstly, all I experienced earlier. Now, my friend just said he received a strange letter. "What's written in the letter? I'm really curious.". He answered: "it says: I will kill you after Igor, Marvin". "It's freaking me out", he muttered scared. I took it certainly must be a bad joke. "We should report it to the police". At that exact moment, I received an email. What's in the email? It has a video file attached to; I opened it and its content is about that fateful running over. There was a camera in that car that recorded me while escaping from being run over. So, that one who's threatening my friend was that one who oddly tried to slay me, and now I know that everything was real.
