Default Car looses power

Went to chili's for dinner since it's right next to the house. After dinner we walked out and my fob wouldn't work. Had to manually unlock the door but the car had no power. Got a buddy to come and jump me. Just as a test I didn't even give the batt a chance to charge so I could see what the issue was. I immediately turned it off, took cables off, and it fired right up without hesitation. The battery was charged but for some reason it wasn't drawing power from it. There were also no symptoms previously and no recent work has been done on the car. Any ideas? All the fuses look good. Maybe a stuck relay? Any help would be appreciated.

I would have the battery tested, any chance you left the lights on?
