Default Car won't turn on after sitting overnight

Hey guys I know I haven't been around for awhile, but I've run into a major(for me) problem. A few nights ago I was at my friends house and went to go get ice and then the next morning at his house the car won't turn over. I can't remember if it even clicked or not since I was in a rush and luckily my was there and she drove me home. At first I thought I left the lights(HID) on, but turned the lights on and they worked perfectly. All of my dash lights work as well. We then tried to jump the car, but nothing happened. I've done searching and it seems like it could be the starter or distributor.

Is there anything else it could be or a better way to check to make sure? Its at a friends house at an apt complex which is over 40 minutes away so I wanted to go there with a lot of ideas and things to check for since I can drive back and fourth too much with the girlfriends car since she needs it.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Probably starter, not hard to fix.

Ended up being the starter... now I just have to find a way to get those 2 main bolts off. Hopefully some WD-40 works.
