Default I think my starter's going out :(

The reason i think it is, is that every time i turn it on it sounds like i over turn the ignition. so it starts while making a scratching sound. ill take video of it in when i can. any suggestions?

Just take your time on it.

Also, you're lucky that your car is actually letting you know of this problem prior to it happening.
My car started great on the way home from school. The next morning it didn't even turn over.
