I want to quit my job, but I don’t know how

What the title says. I’ve been working for a small family owned business while in college for the last year and a half. We currently have five employees besides the owner. I’m the oldest one.

I’ve applied for a few other jobs, and I’m waiting to hear back. I just feel so guilty about possibly leaving. I am the only one who can legally open and close the store on my own. I’ve been there the longest, and I do the most. The only other person who’s been there as long as me is leaving too. I know I shouldn’t feel guilty, but I do like my bosses as people. Ugh. Help!!
