Default Starter/Relay/Electrical Issues Car is sitting in a parking lot HELP!!!

so i get out of the gym tonight and try to start my car.. no luck. i just her a click. no noise from the starter or anything. a similiar incident happend two days ago and about a week ago... last week it started up fine after a few minutes, two days ago i left for work in another car and when i got home it started up on the first try.

when i try to start the car it trips the STARTER relay, and once in a while i hear a sort of "spark" noise coming from under the fuse box. i plan on taking the fuse box out tomorrow but does anyone have ANY ideas on what i cna do to get the car started i need to get it back to my driveway. also the battery power is fine i even tried jumping the car to see if it helped and no luck.

ANY help is greately appreciated

try swapping relays that are similar....iirc you should try the starter relay and the ign relay?

may just also be the starter gone bad....friend had similar symptoms, and that's what it was.
