WIND BREAKER Sakura X FL - Ep.2 - Backstory

Dad

"Ichika?" *He goes into her room* "Ichika. Where's dinner? I'm starving"

Ichika

*She's sitting on the floor in front of her mirror, cleaning out some cuts. She has a black eye, bruises all over, a split lip, and cuts scattering her body.* "I'll start on it in a second. I need to finish this"

Dad

"No. Dinner now" *He says in a stern voice, obviously serious*

This is two years ago

Ichika is 13

Her father is in the Army and her mom is a waitress, supporting Ichika and her 15-year-old brother

Her father is on leave for 3 months

Ichika

"Dad" *She sighs and looks up at him from the floor* "I need 2 minutes. Then I'll start on dinner. If you're so hungry, order some pizza." *She's snaps her fingers* "Better yet, have Ichko make dinner"

Dad

"I can't make him cook. He sucks at cooking" *He sighs and pinches his eyes* "He's too busy with baseball anyway. He's at practice right now"

Ichika

"And I'm cleaning wounds" *She smiles* "I don't want them to get infected"

Dad

*Scoffs and turns away* "I'm just gonna order out" *Grumbles about "useless child" and "Getting into fights all the damn time"*

Dad

*Leaves her room

Ichika

💭God, he's annoying. Make your own d*mn dinner. You're a grown man💭

2 Hours Later 9pm

*Door opens and closes*

Mom

"Hello? I'm home!" *Takes off her shoes, jacket, and puts up her purse*

Ichko

"Hey, mom!" *He walks in from his bedroom in sweats and a t-shirt*

Mom

"Hey my sweet boy"

Ichko never went to baseball practice. He stayed home playing video games

Dad

*He walks in from the living room with a beer in his hand. He hugs his wife* "How was work babe?"

Mom

*She hugs him back, still in her waitress uniform* "It was ok. I got some good tips"

Dad

"Sweet" *He pulls away and reaches into the pocket where the tips are* "Poker money"

Ichko

*He takes 10 bucks* "I need some cash for my girlfriend"

Mom

*Sighs* "You boys" *She smiles and takes off her apron*

Ichika

*Comes out of her room* "Hey mom..."

Mom

*Her nose crinkles with distaste, and she hangs the apron on the hooks on the wall* "What do you want?"

She considers Ichika to be the worst thing to happen to the family

Ichika was an accident and unwanted. On top of it, she mostly skips class and gets into fights frequently.

Ichika

"I need 10 dollars" *Her hand is braced on a doorway, and she leans against it*

Mom

"No" *She sneers and snatches the money from her husband* "Why should you get any of the money?"

Dad

"You haven't deserved any. What have you done? You didn't even make dinner"

Ichko

"You're useless. You haven't done anything for us in forever. You just lie around on your *ss all the time and get into fights"

Ichika

*Sigh* "I don't need to explain myself. I need 10 bucks"

Mom

"No. Why should you need 10 bucks"

Ichika

"You don't need to know. I need 10 bucks"

Dad

"Don't talk to your mother that way"

Mom

"Hush Ino" *Turns to Ichika* "Why do you need the 10 bucks?"

Ichika

*Sighs and rolls her yes in exasperation* "Fine. I have a debt to these guys at school, and apparently, being short 10 bucks warrants being jumped"

Ichko

"You're always getting into fights. This is why you never get anything" *He smiles, sneering*

Ichika

"You never do anything but laze around and play video games." *She says dryly*

SLAP

Mom

*He hand is extended in front of her and Ichka's head is snapped to the side, a red mark on her cheek* "How many times..." *She whispers* "...do I have to tell you not to speak to your brother like that?"

Dad

*Pushes her into the wall* "Don't speak to Ichko like that you little b*tch!"

Ichika

*Leans against the wall, hands braced*

Dad

"That boy is the future of this family. You're just sh*t! You won't do anything for this family. There is nothing you can do. You're gonna end up a sl*t and a wh*re. Little b*tch"

Mom

"Just go to your room. Get out"

Ichika

*Run/walks to her room and shuts the door behind her, locking it*

Author

You know how people do that speed walk/running/gallop thing?

Author

That was what I was picturing

Author

I don't know if you get what I mean or not

Ichika

*Grabs a duffel bag from her closet and starts filling it with clothes and her stuff. She goes into her underwear drawer and takes out a ward of cash - her savings since she was 6*

Ichika

*Puts on jeans, a t-shirt, her leather jacket, and sneakers. She puts the duffel bag over her shoulder and opens the window*

Ichika

*She goes out the window and drops onto the grass into the backyard.*

Ichika

*She runs outside the backyard and down the street toward a motel*
