Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 1998 GMC has been running fine for months. yesterday I parked it for maybe 2 minutes and went to start it again and nothing. It didn't even turn over. the lights the horn and the radio all work fine. I can also here the fuel pump going. we tried jump starting it thinking it was the battery and nothing. I went back today and turned the key and it started. I turned it off for a few minutes then it wouldt start. I don't know whats wrong. I was able to start it again. But the truck starts and then wont start then start again.
