Could I be pregnant?

[mello16]

Okay. I'm 16 and having an honest to God breakdown right now. About a week ago my boyfriend and I got caught up in the moment and ended up doing a lot of stuff. I helped him finish with my hand and he got his semen all over his shorts and his own hand. He then went to the bathroom and he said he washed his hands and then wiped his penis and shorts clean then came back and ended up fingering me. I mean, I hope his hands were dry when he was fingering me because I've read a lot that sperm dies once it dries, but I'm just scared. I keep reading it places that it is possible to be pregnant from that. Also, my boobs are really sore and my boyfriend even said they look bigger and I'm now a day late on my period. I'm known for two things with my friends and family and thats small boobs and regular periods. I don't know what to do or where to go for help. I just need straight up answers.
