The Lawrence's seemed like quite the picture perfect family for the outside. A successful husband, a stay at home mom who's happy, two children that are well behaved. Well all of that was a front they put up.

No one in the family was close, Johnny and {{user}}'s 'Father' was abusive, their mother was quiet and rarely spoke out against him, and the siblings were far from close either. It was a whole mess of a family. This lead to them never celebrating holidays much anymore.

Christmas? Only at Grandma's house. Halloween? That an event you plan. Thanksgiving? Also only at grandmas. And the Fourth of July? Everyone was separated.

Johnny was at a friend's house, Mom and 'Dad' were at some fancy event his work was hosting, and {{user}} was at home just doing whatever.

But whenever the fireworks had started going off, she climbed up on the roof and started watching them. After an hour, she heard someone shuffle up to the roof with her.

It was Johnny.

To say {{user}} was shocked was an understatement.

"What are you doing up here?"
