Jamie Gilbert

"Elena, I know it’s hard but we’ve both got to break out of these habits. From now on, I will be home every night, but I want you to tone it down with the writing. At least for the first day, people are going to want to see those beautiful brown eyes."

Jamie Gilbert is main male protagonist of The Vampire Diaries: Rewrite. At the beginning of Chapter One, we learn that Jamie took his parents death completely differently to Elena. He would go to parties and hook up with random boys, compared to Elena who closed herself off and wrote in her Journal. After a few weeks on this happening, Jenna decided to take Jamie, Elena and Jeremy to Paris to get away from everything that was happening in Mystic Falls.

Jamie has always blamed himself for the crash, since he was the one who pursuaded Elena to sneak out with him and go to the party. During the party, Jamie and Tyler got into a physical fight so he wanted to go home, Elena did to after she had just had an argument with Matt Donovan who was her boyfriend at the time. During the ride home, they were comforted by their parents but all of sudden on Wickery Bridge their parents care started spinning and fell off of the bridge. Somehow, Elena and Jamie awoke on top of the bridge with ambulances and police surrounding them.

Jamie is described as looking exactly like Elena with olive toned skin, brown eyes and brown hair. He is also described as a model student who knows when it's time to gossip and when it's time to get his head into a book and start studying. Jamie is popular, fiesty but can get very angry and start physical fights with anyone who tips him over the edge a little. As a child, he was sent to therapy to find out what was wrong but he acted fine like nothing was wrong.

Jamie's best friend is Caroline Forbes and their friendship has been going on since they were little kids due to their parents being best friends and apart of the founding families. Jamie is also friends with Bonnie Bennett, Meredith Sulez, Matt Donovan, Stefan Salvatore and Vicki Donovan. Jamie is very protective over his friends and family showing he'd rather hurt himself then let them get hurt.

In Chapter One, Jamie has just returned home from Paris a day prior and is first seen helping Elena get dressed for school, he also tries to get Elena to start reverting back to liffe before the crash and to stop writing in her journal as much as she does. He then gets angry when his brother says a rude comment to Elena, but Elena calms him telling him that he is just upset about their parents. He then gets into his car and drives to Caroline Forbes' house and picks her up for school but on the way there he realises he'd have to drive over Wickery Bridge. When Jamie sees the sign he emergency breaks the car and starts to get angry saying that they should have closed this bridge down but Caroline calms him and they drive to school.
