Grounded (The 100 Fan-fiction)

Chapter Five (Lesbian)

Chapter Five.

JASPER:

We were walking through the forest following after Clarke who’d taken the lead alongside Finn on our little journey. Much to Gemma’s annoyance I think.

She was distracted then though, talking to Octavia.

And I was a good few feet away with Monty, taking up the rear.

“What are you staring at?” Monty suddenly asked.

I smirked. “Come on my friend. The two of them side by side? How can I not look?”  I asked, how could he NOT be staring?

He shrugged looking after them. “I don’t see the appeal.”

I stopped. “In Octavia?”

“In either one.” He explained.

I was shocked. “Not even the green eyes? That hair? Come on man don’t make me say it… the…body to be subtle.” I prodded trying to get him to admit she was at least attractive.

“Her eyes are Blue.” He challenged. My heart stilled in my chest for a moment… somehow I’d stopped talking about Octavia all together and had gone back to Gemma, revealing far too much!

“What?”

“Octavia’s eyes are blue.” He clarified.

“Oh I know…” I said awkwardly starting to walk again.

But he stayed behind I stopped and turned to face him.

“What?”

“You like her don’t you?” he accused more than asked really.

“Gemma? No! I’m just saying I appreciate her.”

“There you go again! You don’t even know who I’m talking about! There’s two of them bro… and you keep bringing up one. It’s a huge tell! You’re like in love with her or something.” He laughed shaking his head and walking ahead again.

I was stunned at first, but then kind of excited. Then regret washed in. Monty wouldn’t tell but, still it was nerve wracking talking about things I fought so hard to keep hidden.

Maybe I should finally talk to someone about this. Maybe it would help to get it off my chest. Monty was my best friend, I could trust him.

I shot forward running up to catch up with him.

“She said she loves me.” I admitted a little giddy.

“What?” he exclaimed a little too loud, his eyes as wide as they could possibly go, with evident shock. Wow was it that unbelievable?

“Shhh man, keep it down!” I urged.

He tried to calm down but the shock was still the only emotion he seemed able to access.

“She said she loves you? Like love? Like I want to marry you and have your baby inside of me for nine months love?”

 My face fell. “Well no. I think it was more like, you’re like a brother, and a really important friend kind of love. But it’s a start right!?” I asked hopefully.

He shook his head with a little more humor now.

 “Your hopeless man! She’s a lost cause! She’s totally a lesbian anyways!”

“What? She dated Wells, how could she be a lesbian.”

‘”you see how she hates him though right? He turned her gay!”
