Tessa's P.O.V

I smiled at the sun shining brightly through my window, aha! A perfect day for all the touring. I jumped out of my bed and did my morning routine, glad that I woke up early so I wouldn't have to rush getting ready.

I wore black converse with denim shorts and a white and neon yellow crop-top saying 'just go with it'. I straightened my hair to perfection and applied my usual make up: lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara. I slipped on my high top converse then grabbed my phone and went down for breakfast.

"Good morning" Regina said cheerfully.

"Morning" I replied with a smile.

She served me bread, eggs and bacon with fresh orange juice. I love such a filling breakfast to be honest. I chatted with Regina while eating my breakfast peacefully.

After I was done I put my plate in the sink. I grabbed a chocolate bar and went out to the key holder where I grabbed my car keys, waved Reg a bye and left the house. I wanted to ride with Gab but he said that he had some work so he had to leave early and would meet us there which left me to drive alone.

I switched the radio on and started my drive to the famous London eye. 'Beating heart' by Ellie Goulding started playing and I sang along to the tune. I love her songs to be frank. They are always so meaningful and satisfying- in a way.

Just as I was parking my car my phone started ringing to that familiar Selena Gomez tune. I held it out to see Ellie's name flashing on the screen. Ha! 'What a coincidence my friends name matches with Ellie Goulding-not that I realised now' I thought.

"Where are you Tess? Please don't tell me you are still in bed. You always slack. Get your lazy arse up this very moment woman! Or I'll personally detach your booty from your body with my bare hands. Are yo-" I cut her off and telling her I have already reached but there was no point she just continued ranting "Hurry up Yo! You know that the first ride starts at 10 and if you are not here, we are going to leave you behind..." She carried on with her babble.

Trust me she can talk even if you ran out of shit to say, she will bring foreign topics out of now where and you won't even know when you'll get engaged into the conversation. And trust me even decades and millenniums' will be not as much of.

I entered and I could see groups of people laid out on the grass and children playing in the play area. I spotted my friends and made my way over. I felt awful cutting all these people standing in the line. "Are you even listening?" Ellie asked sort of annoyed still on the phone with me even though I was right behind her. "Calm your tits woman and turn around" I ended the call and shoved it in my back pocket.

"Thank god! Finally! What took you so long?" I ignored Ellie's over reaction and greeted the boys then finally turned around and gave her a glare.

"hello to you to" I told her and she merely rolled her eyes and backed off. I smirked in satisfaction.

We talked and waited for another 5 minutes before it was our turn to enter the capsule. We slowly started moving upwards. Even though I have been on the London Eye several times before, the view never fails to take my breath away. It's too hypnotic for words.

We had a great 360 degree view of London form the top of the world- okay maybe be I was exaggerating but hey we were quite high up in the sky.

The Thames River was just below us. Many famous landmarks were clearly visible including the Buckingham Palace, the St. Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. We could see everything as far as 40km. We were lucky that it was a clear day and were also able to see the Windsor Castle.

We took tons of pictures and endless crazy selfies together.

Ellie enlightened us with facts about the London Eye which were to be honest very fascinating. How she memorizes all this and stores it in her brain is beyond me.

The ride was for about 35 minutes but I still felt like it got over quickly.

"hurry up driver" I said getting restless by every second to Gab who was now driving to the church as Cam was giving him directions.

"And.... We're here ladies" he said with a grin.

"Finally!" Ell and I said in unison which only caused us to burst out laughing and the guys rolled their eyes at us.

"Let's go now" I said pulling Ells hand and dragging her away from the boys.

We all entered the church. Wow. This church is remarkably awesome. It's so beautiful. This place feels so warm and nice.

We all bowed our heads down and prayed. Then each of us got a candle from the box. We lit it up and placed it on the long desk/platform in front of Jesus where all the other candles were.

After leaving the church, Ell grabbed my hand. I knew what she was going to do because I started smiling at her slyly which only caused her to wink at me.

"You two are going to sit at the back while Ell and I will be in the front. Got it?" I said demandingly.

They just sighed and went behind. Ell started laughing and I chuckled. I plugged in my iPod while Ell changed songs to the one she wanted and me driving happily.

Within no time we were at the park. Trust me I'm capable of casting in fast and furious with these driving skills. I've just got it in me and I love driving with a passion. It is in my genes y'know. Everyone in my family is a nice driver well except Elena as she's not of age to drive but I'm sure even she will be a fine driver.

I shut the ignition and locked the car. Gab and Cam said they were going somewhere and would be back in a few.

"Want to walk around until they come back?" she asked.

"Sure"
