You should have just taken the next day's pill yesterday, then continued taking each pill 1 day early.
Anyway, completely missing a pill isn't going to make the pill completely ineffective, but your use certainly isn't considered "perfect." Your effectiveness rate has probably been decreased by a very small percentage, and pregnancy is still pretty unlikely, but not impossible if you have unprotected sex. If you want to be safe, use a back-up method for at least 7 days. Again, pregnancy is highly unlikely still, but it's your choice how careful you want to be.
