[Edit]: After seeing how easy it is to just replace the axle, I'm just gonna replace the entire axle instead. That way I'll have a lifetime warranty on it incase it rips again in the future. And with that being said, I'm just gonna keep driving it. I'll replace it on Wednesday or Thursday morning. I don't think it's going to go out on me in 200 miles of driving. It's not making any noise and there is still grease in the boot, so it must have just ripped recently

I think you'll be fine. My experience has been that axles can last months or years after the boot tears. Maybe wrap it in tape to slow dirt from getting in and grease from getting out.
