Despite what some people feel the need to tell the world.
Edward's facebook status, when I went to his page to un-friend him (something I then realized I can't do from that page. So I looked at it without needing to. Awesome.), said "Edward is tired of giving everything to people just to have his heart ripped out for no reason at all. Basically, I'm tired of lying sluts."
I think this all may end up in me not being able to claim that whole "I'm a slut" title proudly. Even reading it, there was so much malice in the term, I can hear it. I can't imagine what it would have felt like being spat from his mouth. Oh, wait, yes I can.
I've blocked him on facebook. I called t-mobile to block his number from calling me. Apparently I can't do that because I'm not the primary account holder (I'm still on my dad's plan, since he pays it for me). So I had to call my dad and explain the situation, which was embarassing, and actually he sounded a little angry at me about it. Then he had to call the company and apparently add some feature that allows us to block phone numbers. It costs money. (Not much, it's a negligible amount, but it's the idea of the thing... That, especially in a situation like this, I have to PAY to make the harassment stop?) And will take a few hours to take effect. Weak.
In case you all hadn't guessed, there's been a new round of calls, texts, and messages. I'm going to post them here, again, just to clean them out of my system, but also, actually, to have some sort of physical proof. I don't know how long this will go on - he knows where my family lives back home, and I'm actually nervous. Jesusfuck. How did it get this bad?
And the worst part is, it does hurt my heart to see it end like this. I want to be able to forgive him. But I can't. And I'm pretty confident, at this point, he doesn't deserve it. Roland has been chatting with me about some of the similarities he's seen in Edward's behavior and his own past indiscrections - I still refuse to believe you were ever this bad, Roland. In a way, it gives me hope that Edward might someday grow up and become a real, decent, lovely man like Roland. At the same time, the vindictive side of me revels a little in knowing that, like Roland has told me, Edward will look back on this and be ashamed of his behavior. Although I'm not sure he will. I think his head is so clouded with hatred for me and hurt that he can't see straight. I don't know if he ever will, when it comes to me. He holds on to things.
In any case, two days ago, after another few unreturned phone calls, I sent Edward one text message saying "Please do not try to contact me." I figured it was just enough to be clear, while remaining uninvolved. At least this way, he couldn't claim he just thought it was a phone company error. (Since 70 unreturned calls often are.) Yes, we're at 70 now.
Here's what he wrote back:

That last message sent at 3:05am, my time.
And then there were the voicemails. Accompanying the 30 or so phone calls last night. At one point, I accidentally answered one (I was opening my phone to answer a text from Friend), so I just said "I have nothing left to say to you. This is over." And hung up. Here were the voicemails he left (because I sure as hell don't want them on my phone):
April 9:
"Goddammit sasha will you please just talk to me? Don't let us end like this, please? I'm begging you. Just fucking talk to me, please, I'm begging you. Talk to me and I'll leave you the fuck alone."
"Please? At least let me say I'm sorry to you. I'll apologize or something I... I, I don't wanna lose you, too, Sasha. I'm sorry. I am a fucking wreck and I don't wanna lose you, Sasha."
"C'mon Sasha. After everything that we've been through, for 10 fucking years I've been trying to get you to love me back and it just fucking tore me up that you actually don't.. still! I'm sorry for what I said, I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of it, I jsut.. I need you in my life, even if it's just going to be as a friend. I don't wanna lose you, please I'm sorry. Please forgive me, please."
April 10:
"You know how fucking stubborn I am, how fucking stubborn I can be, and how fucking stubborn I WILL be. Especially after devoting 10 fucking some-odd years of just trying so hard. And then everything seems to be so fantastic, and yet still it's not good enough for you. I would just like to know why I wasted 10 years of my fucking life trying to be with you and why you would bullshit me and then break me like you did. So how about you stop being such a spoiled, immature little brat and just fucking talk to me and maybe get me to understand why the fuck you fucked me over so damn hard. Maybe? I don't know. I think I deserve to at least know fucking that. You think?"
"No, you know what, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I'm not gonna stop bothering you. Because I need to know why the fuck you, of all people, of all the girls that I ever... oh god, you were the only one I ever fucking trusted. The only one I actually had fucking feelings for. The only fucking one. I would just like some kind of closure, some kind of understanding at why the fuck you have fucked me over so damn much. Why? What the fuck have I done to you? To have you bullshit me, and make me feel fantastic and like I matter to you, when really I fucking didn't. Why? You, Sasha, of all fucking people? I can't believe you, out of anybody, would do this to me. I fucking can't."
"Hey how about before I slice my goddamn wrists open like I should have done probably many fucking years ago, maybe you give me some kind of fucking closure so I can figure out why, exactly, I keep getting fucked over and why you are loving hurting me fucking this much. I would love to know why. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon. Too late, and it'll probably be too fucking late, I can honestly tell you that. Ahh, thank you, so much. This is great."
Again, that last message was at about 3am. I think. My voicemail doesn't time-stamp things.
Sigh. I never thought there would be someone in my life who would make ex seem sane. Downright likable, actually. I mean, hell, at least after I finally left him, he stopped calling after about 15 unreturned phone calls.
Sometimes it's hard to ignore that I'm the common denominator between these guys, though. I joke with my current partners about promising me they won't go crazy and decide they hate me, but it's one of those half-serious jokes.
I just want it to be done with.

Sounds like you've got enough here to go to the police for an order of protection. Please do not blame yourself for anything he's doing. This is insane, frightening behavior and should be taken very seriously.
Take care of yourself, please.
Yeah, I'm with AAG here love. It's past me even just being mad for you... it's scary. Someone who acts like this, says these things, and has clearly convinced themselves that they DESERVE something from you, etc.
Scary. I hear you on the common denominator thing too.... all too well right now. Le sigh. Funny thing is, I sent you texts BEFORE I read this!!!
WOW. That's some pretty scary and powerful stuff he's written there. I dismiss most of it as attention-seeking bullshit. He's acting like a toddler having a tantrum. He needs to grow up, big stylee.
You need to keep doing what you're doing - keeping him at arms length and not communicating with him, while making sure we and anybody who's interested sees the crazy things he's writing and saying.
I totally understand AAG and Amalthea's concerns - I'd like to think it's just melodramatic nonsense. Guys can say an awful lot of stuff they don't mean. Do be careful, though.
He will be sick and disgusted with himself when he looks back and sees what he wrote and how he acted. It's sad, because he didn't just kill your friendship - he vivisected it.
This is where that old Bond saying 'the Quantum of Solace' comes in. Because this behavior is what's going to stamp out that quantum of solace you still have for him. He's making it easier to step away from him, instead of the other way around.
Maybe one of his friends will do the right thing and give him a (metaphorical) slap around the cheeks and demand: "Do you see what you're doing?"
Do take care of yourself. It is worrying... I still think (hope) that it's all just childish dramatics.
As for what you wrote here: "I think this all may end up in me not being able to claim that whole "I'm a slut" title proudly."
Don't let him take anything away from you! Especially not that.
One of the things I instantly liked about you is how you embodied one of the wisest and sexiest things somebody ever told me: "There's nothing wrong with being a slut as long as you own it."
He's turning that around, which he has no right to do. You define what you are, not him. He's attacking the things and the values that are important to you to try and batter down your defences. Don't let him.
