Sorry to hear about your pain. When an ovarian cyst ruptures, it usually causes a sharp pain on one side of the abdomen. This matches your description, so it's quite possible that a cyst ruptured.
Since you're 2 weeks away from your period, another possibility may be ovulation. However, the cramping and pain from ovulation is usually not severe or "explosion"-like.
The good news is that ovarian cysts aren't usually serious. However, you should consult your gynecologist as soon as possible to rule out any other conditions, such as cancer.
