Does a nose have to bleed when it goes through trauma to be broken? (photo)

Ashlinn_g
My boyfriend and I were playing basketball and we ran into each other causing his head to smack into my nose. At the very moment it happened I heard a 'snap, crackle, pop' sound. It didn't bleed after it happened, but it did bruise pretty well and I woke up with dark coloring under my right eye even though the left side of my nose hurts worse.(??) I also woke up and my nose was slightly (slowly) bleeding. It is also quite swollen. I'm not sure if a trip to the doctor is worth it or not. HELP PLEASE
