Coworker quit so now I feel like I can’t?

I’ve worked at this company for almost 2 years. It is my first job out of college. It’s a global company, however this site seems to have been neglected. It’s unorganized, understaffed, and honestly unsafe. I’ve considered quitting before, and even went through a few interviews but nothing really came of that.

More responsibilities (but no pay increase ofc), trainings scheduled for later this year, new projects being started, etc. And of course, last week, my coworker (same title as me), put in his 2 weeks. Now people are scrambling, and I assume a lot of the work is going to fall on me. Today, my boss said to me: “Youre not planning on leaving forever, are you?” I obviously couldn’t say yes, and then he said “If you’re ever considering leaving, I want you to talk to me first so we can work it out.” So now I feel like I’m screwed. Should I stay?
