Going to orlando
Im going to orlando for 5 days and leaving the cL behind taking my friends evo. Is there anything I should do to the cL before I leave it sitting 
Is 5 days along time to not drive it? Its the longest i ever went in 2 yrs not driving it. Is anything gonna get messed up? Should I have my mom start it up?!

Stay or leave
calm down, your car will be fine, when you get back just start it up and sit for a minute let it warm up. Other then that you really have nothing to worry about.

Ok so i get home today at 3pm...Go for a drive at 6pm get in the car "EHH" "EHH" "CLICK" "CLICK". I thought it was funny at first cause the whole time i was worried about it dying and it actually did. I kept cranking it like 20 times (WAS THAT A BAD THING TO DO?) Soo i called up my friend with a camaro that lives around me and he pulled up jumped the battery for like 2 sec and i tried to start it and it started right up then i let it sit for 2 min and then i drove around for the past 15 minutes. Car seems good now did i do everything right? My friend jus jumped it for like literally 3-4 sec he didnt rev his car or anything jus put it on and then i started my car.
Couple questions...(I have an optima red top that i bought about a year ago)
Why did my battery die? I started the car thursday morning last time. I didnt see any lights that were left on or anything.
Is my battery dying?
What should i do?

Maybe the only thing that can happen is your idle may go crazy that happened to me when I went to New York for around a week and had to take it to the dealer and they told me my oxygen sensor went bad because of that reason. It's happened twice to me.
