This sentence is grammatically incorrect. "To end up" cannot be used as a noun, as it is in this sentence, nor should it be used interchangeably with "end", which expresses a slightly different meaning.
This sentence is grammatically incorrect. To END UP is not interchangeable with to END or to FINISH in every context. In this example, "my insurance contract ENDED (or TERMINATED) in February" would be better. To END UP expresses an idea of time passing before an end result - not simply the termination of something. Another example: This television documentary ENDS or FINISHES at 7.30pm (NOT: This television documentary ENDS UP at 7.30pm).
This sentence uses the expression to END UP correctly, in a similar way to how Luna uses it in this dialogue.

For example, you could start your day on Broadway, then take the subway to Times Square, but END UP in Harlem for dinner and drinks. This expression is often used to describe the result or consequence of an action or actions which began much earlier.
This sentence uses the expression to END UP correctly, in a similar way to how Luna uses it in this dialogue. To END UP (together) is "to finish" by being in a relationship with someone. For example, you could start dating someone at age 9, then move to Kazakhstan because your father is a chemical engineer, then eventually move back to Guatemala and discover that your old girlfriend is now the President, and re-commence your relationship with her. In this way, you END UP together despite your previous separation.
This sentence uses the expression to END UP correctly, in a similar way to how Luna uses it in this dialogue. To END UP (in prison)" is "to finish" or 'arrive there finally", likely as the result of behaving badly or breaking the law earlier.

This expression is often used to describe the result or consequence of an action or actions which began much earlier.
