If you miss one pill, you should be taking it with your other pill one day later to remain protected for the one missed. I am not sure who told you that you aren't protected for the next 7 days-- that is inaccurate, you should still be protected if you took both pills the following day.
If you continued taking your pills, then it is unlikely that you are pregnant. However, please take a pregnancy test after two weeks since it seems you stopped taking the pills. For future reference, do not stop taking your birth control pills, there is no reason to skip your inactive week, and set your alarm at the same time every day so that you can remember to take your pills.
