Honesty is always the best policy. It might be difficult to come clean, but it's better than risking getting fired.

I know, but what if my boss doesn't take it well and decides to let me go anyway?

You can't control your boss's reaction, but you can control your own actions. Doing the right thing is always the best choice.

You're right. I'll tell my boss the truth and take responsibility for my mistake.
