Last night, I put my tampon in around 10 pm and this morning I was planning on putting a new one on and I completely forgot until about say 2pm. I'm really worried that I may have gotten toxic shock syndrome from this. I know I shouldn't have left it in that long, but I was in a hurry and it slipped my mind :( Is there anyway to tell if I have it because my parents are going to be two hours away tomorrow and I'm scared I'll show symptoms while they're gone?

Don't worry honey, you'll be fine. It's VERY rare when this occures. Usually when people get toxic shock symdrom, it's the gross people that leave a tampon in for like 3 days or something and it becomes a bacteria haven!
You'll be fine, I promise :)
Just to be sure, if you start breaking out in a rash all over your entire body, vomiting, bloodshot eyes, and severe headache..THEN you might want to contact your doctor.
