Default Fuel pump won't prime ---> ej8

Go to turn on my car today and i didnt hear the fuel pump kick on. Im like "wtf"? i scratch my head and try it again. nothing!!! so i figure my pump took a ****, hooked a direct line to the pump from the battery and it comes on. so i try to start the car and it wont turn over. i hear the pump running with the direct line but i doesnt turn over. what am i missing? any advice is appreciated.

Does the starter fail to crank the engine? Or does it crank but won't start?

Any CEL codes? Is hood fuse 44 or dash fuse 13 blown?
