Sounds like the battery has drained. The clicking sound indicates the solenoid is actuating, but there is insufficinet current to turn the starter motor.

Try using jumper cables and a donor battery to start the car (be sure to follow correct procedures) and then have the battery tested. My OEM battery failed after 14 months.
