Recently I just got stitches because of a biking accident. I already called my boss and told him that I would be unable to come in for my 2 upcoming shifts. I'm going to need more time than that for it to heal. I usually have closing shifts and whenever somebody cancels their shift, It a inconvenience to other co-workers (Im 15 btw)

Do not be afraid; health is more important than work. I was like you a few years ago, always a guilty conscience about staying home even when I was really sick. Sometimes I still went to work when I was not feeling good at all. This stupid mode of thinking changed when I realised, that the world is not going to end if I am not there, Somebody else will do my work and no coworker or boss will "kill" me. Furthermore, you call in sick because of real reasons and not because of e.g. too much party the previous day.
Get well soon! :-)
