when there is absolutley nothing coming out of the car, no sounds, no lights, no wirling of the fuel pump... it more than likely is your battery. check all your switches, doors left open, trunk poped, etc. Try giving it a jump start and see if it will crank up. If that works, when you get a chance, take out your battery and take it to autozone, they will charge it up for free for ya and you will avoid over straining your alternator trying to get your battery back up to what its supposed to be.
