Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
The seven day break from the pill is for the opportunity of your body to have a period. You are still protected against pregnancy as the medication from the pill is still in you. It takes time for the pills affect to work its way out just as it took time to build up.
Still for good reason other than just pregnancy protection you should use a condom when having sex. This not only adds extra protection to the 1% chance of pregnancy there is with most birth control pill. The condom also protects against the transmission of many STDS and the HIV/AIDS virus. Unless you are married or in a long term relationship, such as living with someone, you should insist your partner wear a condom when having sex.

Whenever you miss taking a pill or aren't taking one due to it being the break, it is recommended that you use a condom. While you don't ovulate just days before a period, which is needed for one to get pregnant, it doesn't hurt to take extra precautions, especially if a period hasn't started yet.
