It might be a good idea to add in the list of characters and locations in the OP too, just for the sake of ease. I added some stuff for you in bold that I thought was important.

Entry 70. June 19, 2009.
[x] Run away with Selest.
"I don't know... Something doesn't feel right about this. And don't get any ideas. Selest means nothing to me. I'm with Melanie now..."
Felix doesn't understand what's going on, but he decides to trust Selest for now. He nods in agreement. Selest smiles and grabs hold of his hand. "Where did you park?" she asks. "Over this way. Let's go," he answers. They take off running together. Selest keeps his hand held tightly. In his car, Selest suddenly leans in and kisses Felix. "What are you doing!" he shouts, quickly pushing her away. "What's the matter..." she asks. "I...I have a girlfriend, Selest. We need to focus on getting away, anyway. What's your problem?" he says, flustered. "I'm...sorry. I got caught up in the moment, I guess. I don't know what I was thinking..." she apologizes.
Back at the Methi residence, Garet apologizes to Clare for having to change their afternoon plans. "I'm really sorry dear... James and I have important business to attend to. It just came up," he explains. Clare pouts, but she sees the seriousness in her father's eyes and decides to be a good girl. "Be careful then, okay, Daddy?" she says, hugging him. "Haha... Of course, Clare. Of course. Daddy is always careful. I love you," he says, holding her close. James and Garet get back in their van and leave for Lixmilo, Clare's "I love you too, Daddy" still fresh on his mind.
"Stop by my apartment before we do anything. I have to get some things. Once Dad catches on to what I've done, I may not be able to go back there for a while," Selest explains. She guides Felix to her apartment and he parks outside. "Come in and help me, okay?" she asks. "I'm fine waiting out here. I can keep watch," Felix suggests. "No, please. I could use your help," she pleads. He relents and the two walk up to her third floor apartment together. Inside her room, Selest starts digging through her closet for something. "So when are you going to tell me what's going on?" he asks. "Ha! Here it is!" she exclaims, pulling a small box out. Selest opens it and takes out a small handgun. "Whoa! What the hell? Why do you have a gun?" he asks, surprised.
"Protection, of course. A girl's gotta be able to take care of herself these days."
"Okay, but why do we need it now?"
"I told you. Our parents are dangerous. Rose has a lot of friends. They may come after us."
"Slow down now... This is all coming at me pretty fast. Why are they dangerous? Crazy, I can see. But dangerous?"
"I don't fully understand everything, Felix. I just know they want you. And they're using me to get you."
Felix starts backing slowly towards the door, suddenly worried and regretful of his decision.
"Stop, don't worry Felix. I only played along with them so they wouldn't do anything to me. They were riding on you trusting me. I don't want to see you get hurt."
"Why are you doing this for me?"
"I don't really know why either. I like you, Felix."
"And if what you're saying is true, why couldn't they have just kidnapped me or something? You say she has dangerous friends."
"I don't know. They don't want to make a scene. And they said it was important they got you fully trusting or something."
"Whatever. I knew I couldn't trust them. Thanks for this, Selest."
"No problem. Go down and get the car ready. I'll be down after I pack a few things."
At Linden's, Rose sits in Oscar's office chair sipping some fresh tea. "Well, they've been gone a while now. Suppose everything is going good?" she asks. "I have no doubts, Rose. My daughter can be very convincing," Oscar nods, a slight smile on his face. "Haha. Yeah, indeed. You've raised her well," she compliments, laughing. "I do hope she doesn't try doing anything outside of the plan, though. She has the bad habit of thinking for herself too much," he says. "Now, now. It's not like she's going to try saving him," Rose laughs. Oscar thinks of the possibility and joins her in laughter.
A few miles out of town, James and Garet jive to a song on the radio in an attempt to ease the growing tension. The sound of a police car's siren and the sight of flashing lights behind them ruins that attempt quickly. "Oh dammit... I am not even speeding. What does this joker want?" James curses. "Pull over. Don't give him any reason to suspect us," Garet says. "Fine, fine. Bastards. All of them," he curses again as he pulls over. The police car pulls up behind them. Nicholas Lezoa steps out and slowly walks over to their car.
"Do you have a plan then?" Felix asks. "Hehe...not really. I'm just making this up as I go," Selest answers. "Perfect... Well I'm not comfortable leaving my girlfriend alone anymore. I'm going to head back to Gledenberg," he tells her. Selest's face changes, revealing her dissatisfaction in hearing this. She puts back on her smile and says, "No, wait, Felix. We don't have time for that. It's not safe there. Rose has friends there. They could be waiting for us," she explains. "I have to risk it. That means she's not safe too," he replies. "Just call her and explain what's going on. Isn't there someone else who could protect her? Parents perhaps?" she suggests. Felix is curious why Selest is arguing this so much, but he realizes there is sense in what's she saying if everything about Rose is true. He notices she looks clearly distressed, and he's torn over what to do. "Let's head for Lixmilo. I have a good friend there who will take care of us while we sort things out. We should be safe there," Selest says.
[] Insist on getting Melanie first and head to Gledenberg.
[] Listen to Selest and head to Lixmilo.
[] Stop listening to Selest and head back to the mall.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

Awesome, thanks Herbert. I was actually going to update my character roster this entry. That'll help me out. I don't think I'll add it to the first post, though. I don't want spoilers there. I'll update and stick it onto this post in a bit.

You guys are so cruel assuming Clare has no mother. ;_; I don't only write about dysfunctional families!

Why is it that whenever I don't check, you update... Twice. D:

Judging by that part with Rose+Oscar, Selest may be part of the plan. They say "gone for a while" but never specify if she was only supposed to stay in the mall, or lead him someplace.
"Stop by my apartment before we do anything. I have to get some things. Once Dad catches on to what I've done, I may not be able to go back there for a while," Selest explains. She guides Felix to her apartment and he parks outside. "Come in and help me, okay?" she asks. "I'm fine waiting out here. I can keep watch," Felix suggests. "No, please. I could use your help," she pleads. He relents and the two walk up to her third floor apartment together. Inside her room, Selest starts digging through her closet for something. "So when are you going to tell me what's going on?" he asks. "Ha! Here it is!" she exclaims, pulling a small box out. Selest opens it and takes out a small handgun. "Whoa! What the hell? Why do you have a gun?" he asks, surprised.
I was like, "OMG he's dead" at this point, gee bad choice going with the girl.

I agree with xbish, we should push her out of the car before she pulls that handgun on us.
