Story has proper name used like this:

After sitting a while, the Johnsons friend decides to leave.

Is it Johnsons' or Johnson's?

I'm inclined to think it's Johnsons' but I'm not 100 percent sure.

Thanks in advance!
 
That's right, though it's a weird-looking sentence.
Why not "the family friend?"
