Running in the Sun - AU - Inspired by the movie, The Notebook. A worn down Melanie comes to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer in a small town in Louisiana. She meets Jared, the repairman working on her uncle's farm, and the two fall deep into an unlikely love that lasts a lifetime. JaredxMelanie. Rated: PG-13 | POSTED: 4/29/15 | UPDATED: 10/18/15
Author's Note: This is an AU fanfiction. It's placed in the Books category of The Host because certain details from Melanie's backstory are included here. No events from The Host actually occur. Multiple characters from it are included, some in name only, some just as the personality and characteristics right from the book. This story though takes place in modern time, as in 2015-ish modern time. Essentially this is The Notebook - Jared & Melanie style, though not to the tee, just in general structure. Hope you enjoy. :)
Details from the MOVIE That Should Be Assumed:
-the physical appearance of all the characters, as opposed to whatever they're described as in the book (if different)
