She nods, glancing away. “They are on their way to the hospital. Kennedy and Josh are with him. Kennedy broke down and Evan had to pull over to console her.”
“Let’s go.”
“Shouldn’t we wait for Maddox and Clay?” Liam asks, following us.
“Call them. Tell them to get a lift with Connor.”
We follow the paramedics and fire brigade down the path.

Ciara is sitting with Hope, holding her hand. Charlotte is cuddled up to Drew, tears streaming down her face. Amelia is watching her phone, waiting to hear from Maddox. The others are standing to the side, talking amongst themselves.
“It’s going to be okay,” Paisley assures me.
I tighten my grip around her hand. “She was in pretty bad shape,” I reply.
“Where’s my daughter?”
I stand at Evan’s raised voice and move out into the hallway. “Evan?”
He pulls back from the reception desk at the sound of my voice. Kennedy’s shoulders relax and they both rush towards us. “Where’s Imogen? Is she okay?”
“She’s still in with the doctors,” I answer as Hope comes to stand on the other side of me.
Evan brushes his fingers through his wet hair. “What happened? How did she fall down a cliff?” he demands.
“It was more like a steep hill,” Mark answers.
“I don’t give a fuck,” he grits out.
“Evan, honey, don’t take it out on the kids,” Kennedy scolds softly, her breath hitching.
“We don’t know the details,” Hope explains softly.
“What was she doing out there? Why weren’t you with her?”
I give Hope a look to answer. She bites her lower lip, conflicted. “They were going to the bluff.”
“They?” He glances around, probably taking note of the fact we all look like we’re hiding something. Because we are.
“She was with Ben,” Ciara tells him.
“Ben is still here? Where is he?” he asks, scanning the waiting area.
“We don’t know,” I admit.
“You don’t know?” he bites out. “What the fuck does that mean?”
“Honey,” Kennedy calls.
“They can’t find him,” Ciara whispers.
“What the fuckdoyou know?”
Kennedy takes his hand. “Sweetie, you need to calm down,” she pleads, sniffling.
“No, I won’t calm down. Our daughter is injured and we don’t know how badly,” he snaps. “What was she doing with Ben? Why weren’t you with her?”
