19x10 - Week 8: Fantasy Suites, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

- Previously
on "The Bachelorette"...

- [laughs]

- My heart's a little bit
in my throat saying this,

but I love you, Rachel.

- It was love in paradise...

- Don't forget
I'm falling in love with you.

- I'm in love with you too.

- Whoo!

- Until it wasn't.

- So is this our goodbye?

- I think so.

As much as like I don't
wanna say goodbye to Johnny,

I know there's
something waiting for me

that's really great.

- Right now it's hard
for me to like get

to the point of engagement.

- I'm not like
a super jealous person,

but I'm like picturing
a girl that like

I'm in love with
doing that with somebody else.

Like, that kinda crushes me.

- So you brought me here
to tell me it again.

- No, no.
- [crying]

[dramatic music]

- And tonight...

- I'm scared that
I could leave here alone.

Erich [bleep] up last night.

I felt like
I was being almost pressured

into a decision.

Ah!

But with Jason, I never
have to defend myself.

- To feel this strongly
about somebody

and know that you can lose
that person,

that's a horrible feeling.

- Zach is everything
that I want in a partner.

- We did have a big night.

Proposal is right
around this corner.

- For sure.

I'm having a lot of anxiety.

- After Fantasy Suite,
everything took a 180.

I felt blindsided.

That was the last thing you
could have ever expected.

I [bleep] up.

♪ ♪

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I just sometimes need a second.

And I don't like wanna

So I think 'cause we had talked
about it multiple times

just us two,
I didn't know if you truly

did want me to say something.

- No. [bleep], no.

Listen, the reality is
I am in love with you,

and I'm terrified of losing you.

So I [bleep] up an opportunity
and this was just

supposed to be
like positive and just us

like to sneak in a moment.

- Yeah.

- 'Cause I'm scared.

- I think your heart
is in the right place,

but I don't...

I've like worked my ass off

for there to be like no question

on making good decisions.

- It came from
a moment of insecurity

- So much has happened
this week,

but it's just like crazy.

And like, my head's everywhere.

It all started with my
overnight date.

Johnny and I decided that this
wasn't the right time with us.

I knew that he can't give me
what I deserve,

and it was time to say goodbye.

♪ ♪

During our overnight,
Erich and I's relationship

has grown really strong.

A couple days ago,
leaving our morning together,

I felt so good about him,

like he really
could be the one for me.

But then he [bleep]
all of that up last night.

♪ ♪

Erich was telling me
how much he loved me

and how hard it is for him,
especially this week,

because this week
felt like cheating to him.

♪ ♪

And I know that,
because in Fantasy Suites,

when it was just him and I,

we had the same exact
conversation.

And going through all those
emotions multiple times

is exhausting.

My first gut reaction was,
why are we rehashing this now?

- Mm-hmm.
- We had already

talked about it.

Like, when it was
just me and you,

wasn't that enough,
and didn't that mean more?

- You sort of have that
dropped on you

at a moment
you weren't expecting it.

- Right. It's unfair to me.

I didn't get any sleep.

I was still so confused,
and I felt so hurt.

And I don't think
I really understood

where he was coming from, so...

- I'm sorry, you know,
that happened.

I just know you guys shared

a lot of really special
moments together.

- Yeah.

I was definitely
disappointed 'cause

I felt like I was being almost
pressured into a decision.

And I know myself,
I just need a lot of space

in order to be able to think.

Um... oh.
I don't wanna cry.

But I think like this whole time

it has been just really hard
because I've wanted

to make a right decision,
like for myself and for them.

And like, Erich and I have
like gone through so much.

We don't have the best way
of communicating,

but he has like always
fought for me.

And I think I've always
fought for him.

Erich and I,
we've always struggled

with this miscommunication,
but I think

we're also
very different people.

I'm mad at him
because I still have

my overnight date with Jason.

I felt like
I was being pressured.

So I'm like, this is...
This is it, you know.

We're not meant to be.

Like I knew
it was too good to be true.

- It's not easy.

So you can see
how you could feel that way.

- Yeah.

I have to be honest with myself.

And if it's my decision
to be with Erich, it's mine.

And if it's my decision
to be with Jason,

like, it's nobody else.

I want this to be my decision.

- I'm around if you need me.
- Okay.

Sounds good.
- All right, Gabby.

We'll see ya.
- Okay.

I don't really know like where
to go from here or what to do,

but I know I just have to
continue to follow my heart.
