Car won't start after sitting for 3 months

Yeah... so I haven't started my car (a 2.2cl) since the end of October. I'm an idiot, I know. When I try to crank it, the alarm goes off. Any ideas as to why this might happen and any tips on how I can get it to start? Thanks.

Sounds like a possible bad ground?? I would start by unhooking the battery cables, checking for any corrosion and hooking them back up making sure they are tight. I would then go from there trying to first eliminate a bad connection or a bad battery

Now I feel like ever more of an idiot. I reconnected the battery and it started right up. Haha, thanks.
