Car wont start

My car has not been running for a couple months because i did not have the money to fix it. I just installed new spark plugs and it started up so i let it sit for a little bit but when i went to check on it it stalled i believe because the power was still on. Now it will not turn over. I am not an expert on cars just a dumb kid who wanted a badass car(dont judge me i know im dumb). when i put the key in i hear clicks and my ignition fuse is broke on the top and if i touch it it will click. I was having problems starting it so i put the car away to save money to fix it up but now i have no idea whats wrong. I think its flooded and hopefully thats the only thing wrong but i have no idea. Any suggestions or recommendations will be great but dont make fun of me that much..if you can.

Got it to start

Im pretty sure it was flooded but i got it to start but now it has a hard time starting. I have a new battery and sparkplugs. im wondering if its the coils and thats the next thing im gonna try and fix. It takes a few tries to start the car and i have to give it some gas for it to fully start. I plan on trading it in soon but i want it to run good for the summer. But still any suggestions or recommendation will help

Maybe an unlucky chain of events, flooded and starter selenoid went bad, battery might be a bit drained if it sat there for few months, unless major inj failure your motor should crank even if it got flooded. i suggest you charge the battery or use battery pack, unplug coils, remove fuel pump fuse, remove spark plugs and try to crank the motor for about 8 secs (3 times) , if it cranks put everything back together then try to fire it up, if it doen't crank at all look oil level,coolant level, if ok, have someone turning the key to start position for u while u gently smack the starter with a hammer.
