It I get a jump start do you guys think I'd be able to get it home? Or will it break down on me while driving?
yep almost certain your battery is dead then.. which means your alternator or alternator belt has failed.

if you need to drive it then you need to fully charge the battery before you set off. jump start will merely enable you to start the car but the fuel pump etc will drain the battery whilst you drive and it will just die on you. this happened to me on albany hwy last week!

so find someone with a battery charger and get as much charge into your battery before you set off.
