Welcome to GM Forum!
Since you've checked the battery and the fuses (and the under-hood ones too, right?), then the next logical culprit is the starter itself. What happens when you turn the key to START? Does the engine attempt to turn over, or is there just dead silence?

Have you had trouble with it before, or did this all happen suddenly?
It sounds like your starter is dead, though that apparent short when you hit your brake could prove otherwise.
