I’m about to get fired

I don't really know where to start. I've recently started a new job doing administrative work for a midsized company (I've been there a little over 2 months).

I've already heard rumors about them planning to fire another coworker with a similar title as myself. I'm terrified that I'm going to get fired next. I'm anxious all the time. I've been studying skills and using online resources to get better at my job . And I feel guilty and anxious about the idea of quitting after such a short time. So do I stay and keep trying to get better in the hopes that I don't get fired. Or should I start applying to other jobs just in case I do get fire.
