skipping one pill (alesse-28)

Somehow I forgot to take my pill yesteday. This hasn't happened before so I am not sure what to do. I was in a panic this morning when I noticed it. I am on week two of the pack, with one more active week and then the inactive week. Should I take the missed pill today or not? Am I still protected? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
