Hymen: You can injure the hymen, but because of the rich blood supply in the area healing will be rapid.

Yes/unlikely: You could,but without any bleeding I doubt that you did. Some girls actually are not born with a significant hymen or lose it to non sexual activities in childhood.I wouldn't lose any sleep over that event.
