So every afternoon, Charlie would stop by Sonic and spend time with Aaron during her break.

Then he started attending church every Sunday, marking himself as a devout member who is putting in the work to worship and impress Aaron's parents.

Eventually, they did start letting Charlie come over to the house.

On the weekdays, he could hang out with Erin and her brothers or come inside for family dinner.

Erin's curfew was 9pm, so Charlie was out the door by that time every night.

She also wasn't allowed to talk on the phone past that time every night.

On the weekends, though, she could either talk to him or hang out with him until 11pm.

Terry even started letting Charlie take Aaron out for dinners as long as he brought her back by curfew.

Even though they weren't ecstatic about their teenage daughter having a boyfriend, they accepted him enough and were starting to feel okay loosening the reins just a little bit as they got to know him more.

By the end of that year, in December of 2007, the Caffey kids convinced their parents to enroll them back in public school.

They all missed their friends, and Penny was thinking about going back to work to earn the family some extra money.

So once starting school, though, Aaron and Charlie grew inseparable.

They were often seen walking hand in hand down the hallway.

They ate lunch together.

and would find time during the day to slip out and hang out in Aaron's truck.

According to Charlie's friends, he was totally infatuated with Aaron.

She's all he talked about.

The two continued their relationship when just a few days after Christmas, they managed to find some time alone at a friend's house.

There, they slept together for the first time.
