Failed Hard Reset

On my Macbook I found that my Finder nor my App Store was working. I then decided that I should maybe try a hard reset. After following the steps and trying to re-install my operating system, it failed to re install so now my macbook just boots into recovery mode.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
