Tatum didn't remember falling asleep that night. All she remembered was them sitting down against the trees and suddenly her eyes are closed. She woke up between Octavia and Finn with her jacket over her and her head rested on her arms. Octavia was rested close to Jasper. She found herself smiling.
The pair met when they were three years old. They met Monty when they were five. His mother, Hannah, basically treated her like a daughter. By the time she was six, the three of them were the best of friends, branding themselves the Golden Trio. It was only then that called each other that, but Tatum loved them more than anything.
They continued their walk through the forest. They needed to cross the rocks to the other side of the woods to continue, which lead to an argument between Finn and Jasper. "Just hang on till the apogee and you'll be fine." Jasper told him.
"The apogee, like, the Indians?" Finn questioned, obviously stalling so he didn't have to go.
"Apogee, not apache."
Tatum rolled her eyes. "He knows, Jazz. Finn, you said you were going to go first!"
"Yeah, now quit stalling." Clarke agreed with her.
Finn looked down and casted them a smile. He gripped the vine. "Mount Weather awaits." He proclaimed.
Just as he was about to swing, Jasper stopped him. "Wait–Wait."
"What?"
He glanced down at Octavia to see her smiling at him. "Let me, I can do it." He said quickly.
"Aww, someone's gotta crush." She whispered to Monty.
"He's growing up." He whispered back with a grin.
Finn laughed when he understood and he handed Jasper the vine. "I knew there was a badass in there somewhere."
Laughing nervously, Jasper gripped the vine and they switched sides. He hesitated at first, and Finn leaned closer to him. "Hey, it's okay to be afraid, Jasper. The trick is not fighting it." He whispered.
