So I don't know whether to make it a happy ending or a sad/ depressing one. ?

Ben and I stood at the side of the paramore stage while the band head banged and ran around the stage. I was shaking with nerves and excitement.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked, turning me to face him. I nodded but for some reason burst into tears.
"Aww jen. What wrong?" He sat down pulling me down on to his lap. I shook my head. I couldn't think of a reason.
"I-i don't know. I'm juts so happy. I've never been this happy.....ever." He smiled at me in the way that made my heart melt. Before I could think his lips were on mine. I felt his hand on my neck, trying to draw me closer to him. When we pulled apart for breath it was time for us to go on stage.
"Have any of you out there ever lost someone dear to you?" Hayley said into the mic.
The crowd roared.
"Have any of you gone through a depressing or self harming stage in your life?"
Again the crowd roared.
"Well I met somebody today and she told me her story of loss, life, and never giving in. It was one of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. She wrote a song about her sister. Who she lost 3 years ago, after her death she experienced bullying and abuse from people at school and her own family."
The crowd murmered and some people boood.
"So instead of playing last hope I have decided to let her play us her own song.."
The crowd screamed. I felt my heart burst with joy as Hayley wandered over, took my hand and lead me on to the stage. Nerves began to blossom as I took in the hundreds before me.
"You'll be fine babe." Ben said behind me, picking up Taylors guitar. I nodded.
"Can I hear you give it up for JENNA MCDOUGALL!!!!" Hayley yelled before handing me the mic and hugging me tightly before walking to the back of the stage. I nodded at Ben to start and began to sing.

I think about you every single day
And every time I see your face
I wake and it brings me to tears
We haven't spoken in years
We were close when we were young and naive
We grew up and we learned other things
You'll always be sweet 16

And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here and it's become so clear why heaven called your name.

I lost myself in the music, tears falling down my face. The crowd moved as one and I caught a few of their eyes, who then smiled up at me encouragingly.
Amelia
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Now we must let you move forward
Our love lies with you
Our souls fly with you
Amelia

I opened my eyes and let the sobs take over my body. The crowd screamed and applauded and I saw tears falling down the faces of some of them. I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned to be dragged into a big Hayley hug.
"Come back to the paramore tent once you and Ben are ready." She said before taking the mic back. I nodded. Ben ran over and swept me off my feet earning a mighty roar from the crowd. I kissed him as we left the spotlight and didn't stop until I needed a breath.

We raced back to our hotel room for a quick shower and changed our clothes.
"So what happened to you at the bmth tent?" I asked Ben.
His face lit up.
"I met oli Sykes and got they're new CD free and signed and got photos and autographs galore!" He threw his arms up at the last bit and I laughed.
"Wow babe that's awesome!" I got up and gave him a hug but he grabbed y face and crushed his lips against mine. My eyes fluttered closed as I kissed him back. We parted and he looked down at me with love filled eyes.
"Ben i-i think I love you."
