My nightmares where do I start. I will start from the beginning. I was 6 years old and my older sister got kidnapped. She was found dead 2 months later. So there is one of my fears. When I was 12 years old my mom was coming back from an emergency surgery that she had performed and around 2:00 in the morning when she was hit by a drunk driver.  A man was driving along the road. He was the one who called the cops. The ambulance showed up about five minutes later the guy told us. I never was able to get the name of the man who helped my mother when she died. She died before the ambulance showed up. Then  my dad went into a depression after that. About a month later he lost his job but he was still making money I did not know how but he was. Little did I know that he joined a gang. He would do crazy stuff for them and he started to have a really bad drinking problem and then he got into dugs. I came home one day after school he started to abuse me. Whether it be physically or verbally.  Then it  turned really bad once my whole body was black and blue. Then I had so many bruises when I went to school. One of my teachers noticed and she asked me where I got the bruises from. I wanted free from my dad so I told her. She called the cops immediately. He was thrown into a rehab facility and then he went to jail. So I went and lived with my grandmother(my moms mom) and her husband. She was great and gentle with me.I lived there until collage. Then I went off to  collage. When I was at collage I meant Nicole, Elizabeth ,and Lynn and then I meant my fiancé Josh their I was studying to become a neonatal surgeon. I wanted to become this because I wanted to be able to give people hope and to bring joy into people's life. Josh  was studying to become a doctor and we were paired up together for a project. we started out as great friends. Then one day Josh asked me out and of course I said yes!!! We fell in love with each other not to long after he had asked me out. I told Josh all about my family and he didn't care about everything that happened in my past he only cared that I was there with him and he  would stand by me no matter what. When we were out on like 20th date he asked me to marry him. I said yes of course. So here we are in present day. I am happy but my nightmares come almost everyday. Josh helps me get though them. He understands why I have these nightmares. I love him for that. He is great in every way. He is kind, gentle, generous, joyful, bright and more.
"Alexis honey I am back " I hear Josh from downstairs. I fell creeped out when I am alone like somebody is watching me. That is just one of the many fears I have. I am glad to have people in my life who love me.I can't believe tomorrow I am going to be turning 24 tomorrow. I have surprise for Josh tomorrow. I hope he is going to happy about his surprise because it will be terrible if he doesn't like it. Beep, Beep, beep.  It is that hospital I guess I have to go in for an emergency surgery. I walk downstairs and find my husband to be cooking something but it smells disgusting. I don't ask about it instead I go up and wrap my arms around his waist which I can tell that it scared him so he must not of heard me come in.
"Hey honey"
"Hey I have to go in for an emergency surgery so do you think you can wait while I go in real quick"
"Yep just promise you are going to be careful don't get hurt."

He always says this because he knows my mother was driving when she died. That fear is now Josh's fear. He always says the same to thing to everybody he knows who can drive.
"Okay babe"
I go take a shower. Blow dry my hair and then pull it into a bun. I grab my purse iPhone and keys. I go kiss my husband to be and then walk out to the garage and get in my car. I feel like somebody is watching me again I get those creeps again. Oh well I think to myself. I know not the best thing to do because what if there is actually someone watching me. But it will give me some security that I am safe. I should probably tell Josh two things can happen. One he think I am crazy. Two he will always want me by his side and he won't let me go into work and if he did he would probably hire a body guard. So the second option will be more likely.   All that would drive me crazy. So I go ahead and continue to work. The car behind me kept following me all the way to work. It was creeping me out. When I turned into work the car kept driving but he slowly drove by and he looked over and started at me. I felt very creeped out . I had enough so I called Josh. I didn't care if I had a body guard 24/7 I just didn't have a good feeling about today. The strangest thing happened next...
