Different Endings

1) The typical "fairy-tale" ending.
After a disagreement and time apart, the two characters realize that the two do mean something to each other. I would probably throw in something that was relevant throughout the story or a phrase that was used to bring the time back to when the two first met or happier times, reminding the two characters of good memories and times that the two had and will have in the future.

2) What does the audience think is best for the characters... Audience gets to create their own ending.
After everything that happened at the football game, which includes the yelling and fighting and constant drowning of emotion, I had to ask myself and him, where do we go from here?

I never expected this weekend to go like it had. From being thrown into the biggest game of the season to seeing and questioning what exactly I wanted with Lena. We fought, we yelled, we didn't know what to do. I don't know what she was thinking now or before or ever basically but she was there when I needed her the first time and when I needed her the last time. I can't stop thinking about how this has been the best and/or worst weekend thus far. Where are we gonna go from here?

3) The two characters decide to go separate ways. Contradictory to typical "love story" endings.
Rather than going along with the normal and routine ending of the "love story," the two characters realize that what they had, might not be enough at that time or point of their lives. This type of ending could lead to another short story of where the two characters realize they made the biggest mistake of their lives but that sounds too much like Nicholas Sparks' "The Best of Me" ...
