Help!!! Car Not Working Help!!!!

I gotta work tomorrow.... only car...

I was cleaning my engine and stuff and i took out the battery and the intake and cleaned everything up.. i put everything back together... started the first time.. took it out for a ride... came back... turned it off... and like 2 mins later. i tried to turn it back on but it's not workin'... i've been loookin' around all nite to see what's wrong.. both the battery terminals are on tight... nothin' seems loose or anythin'... i was thinkin' maybe i sprayed the cleaner stuff into the wires and stuff... when i tried to start the car.. there's a weird sound on teh passenger side.. not sure what it is... alternator? i know it's not my starter cuz i replaced that like 3 months ago.... and i did the alternator recall so i don't know if it's that... i KNOW it DID start when i jumped the car.. but i stopped it... and it's not workin' anymore!!
help please!!

Only thing I can think of is a loose ground or bad battery. Try running a thick cable from the negative to the chassis then try to start.
