Hi,
First take a deep breath and write down some options. I recommend to just take the test. You have nothing to loose but the truth. Yes, the truth sometimes hurts, but that is a learning phase in life. If you do not want to be in this situation again, use protection. Make it always your decision, not his. This is your body, your temple, your life. Make better decisions and avoid these situations. :)

Do as Hardcore-Band-Geek says and take a home pregnancy test. There is no way for certain that we can tell yes or no that you are pregnant. The fact that you used condoms and used the emergency contraceptive pill puts the odds in favor of you not being pregnant.
Also using the emergency contraceptive could be the reason your period is late as it disrupts your cycle. The only way to know for sure is take a home pregnancy, you actually take two. You take the first one and then 10 days later you take a second one to confirm the first, just to be on the safe side even if the first is negative. There are less false negatives than positives in these test and taking two with one confirming the other makes for a more accurate test.
Stress is another reason why your period may be late. Stress more than being pregnant is the biggest reason for a women to miss her period. Being stressed upsets the delicate balance in your system and this can cause your period to be late or missed altogether.
Try and relax as from what you have written there is very little chance you are pregnant.

Yes there is a chance you could be pregnant. There always is. I don't want to alarm you. it's good you have been using protection and that you took an emergency contraceptive. I would go to the store and get a pregnancy test. Always have to be careful which you seemed to be doing. Good luck! I wish you the best of luck!
