Character History: Jamie came as a surprise for the Hartstrongs, seeing as how Lilliana had been told she would never be able to have children. But Jamie was cherished and was welcomed to the family with great joy. Raymond especially adored his son and the two were practically inseparable. They did everything a father and son duo should do. They played catch, they went to sporting events together, they invented things..
Raymond was a computer scientist and owned an electronics store in town. Jamie from a very young age showed an interest in his father's work and would always help him out in the store/workshop after school. It was discovered that Jamie just had a knack for robotics in particular and Raymond encouraged his son to pursue his hobby as a possible career choice, which Jamie began to consider.
Then, when Jamie was thirteen everything changed. The day had been going by as any other. Jamie and his father were manning the shop as usual when a group of men came in. They had ski masks on and announced that they were holding up the store. They had no firearms, only baseball bats and crowbars so there wasn't any true immediate danger. Raymond and Jamie cowered behind the counter for several minutes while the men ransacked the place.
Then, Raymond whispered his son to get to the landline and call the cops while he made a diversion. While Jamie crawled on his hands and knees over broken glass, Raymond got up and tried to talk to the robbers. They were fooled long enough. Then the sirens could be heard and the robbers turned. Jamie remembers screaming in anguish as his father was beaten to death then the robbers turned on him. He suffered a few broken ribs and a dislocated knee as well as a blunt trauma to the head before the police arrived at the scene.
Life didn't feel like it would ever be the same. Jamie began to have nightmares which then turned into chronic insomnia. He also was now prone to have anxiety attacks which prompted the use of his watch/heart monitor. Sheriff Xanders, his father's best friend, took an interest in making sure the Hartstrongs were alright. Jamie could have done without it but his mother seemed grateful so he was silent on the matter. Then, Sheriff Xanders and his mother were married. Jamie was adopted by Marcus. Then recently little April joined the family.
None of that changed anything about Jamie, however. He still suffers from insomnia and his anxiety attacks still come frequently. But he keeps up at his robotics--even if the memory of his father makes it too painful at times. But he is a fighter, and he hopes that perhaps one day everything will turn out better.
If only..
