^First, I would like to say that people need to understand how messed up it is to say things like "I hope this character dies so these two characters can be together".

Secondly, I don't believe Octavia ever cared about him in a romantic way. She kissed him because he said that he wasn't brave and she wanted to make him understand that he was brave. She tried telling him this at first, however, he kept denying it so she kissed him instead.

Thirdly, I shipped them for awhile until I realized that they don't belong with each other. Octavia needed Lincoln in order to become the strong warrior she is now. Lincoln helped make her stronger and more of a warrior. She could never have gotten that from Jasper or Atom or any other guy back at camp. Also, Octavia never felt like she fit in with the Sky People as much as she felt like she fit in with the Grounders. She went for a Grounder because he had something great to offer her: A chance to fit in. Once again, no other guy at camp could have given her that. As for Jasper, his crush on Octavia made him do stupid things just to impress her. He did get speared trying to impress her, you're right. That's the kind of dumb things I am talking about. Those dumb things can lead to people getting hurt (and it did because Jasper almost died from the spear wound).

Don't get me wrong, Octavia is one of my favorite characters and Jasper is awesome, too. However, they just weren't the right pair for each other.
