Calm down man it's only been a couple hours...
Put your multimeter on the battery check the volts and amperage. Turn the key forward - engine off. What is the voltage now - amperage? Essentially checking for a parasitic drain. The diode could be blown in your alternator. Have you checked your alternator at a parts store? The regulator could be overheating leading to a no charge situation. What is your battery light doing all this time? Could be a lot of possibilities - but until you diagnose a little further it's all just a guess at this point.
