So this past year at college I made friends with a guy (call him Chris). Chris seemed like a really cool guy, but soon I found out he was very toxic. I ended up dating a girl I believe he was infatuated (I didn't know, and she didn't like him) with and I think he really hated me for that. I dated this girl for only a month and then we broke up, but Chris was still really angry at me. Eventually Chris "forgave" me and we became "friends" again. I started hanging out with him a lot, but I started to notice that he made fun of people all the time and that he was a very angry person. I basically put up with Chris up until the end of spring semester at which point he and I both went home. We continued to talk but then I decided that I wanted to cut Chris out of my life and I just stopped talking to him. 

Here's the issue; since I stopped talking to him he sent me a really nasty message to "fuck off/ eat shit" because I was meeting up with someone that was in our friend group (this person I'm meeting with doesn't like Chris that much either) and he was really angry about that. I didn't arrange this meeting on purpose to piss him off, but somehow he found out. Also Chris graduated so he won't be returning to the college next semester, but I keep having this anxiety that he could try to hurt me, because he knows who and where I'm living with(it's a small college). How should I handle this situation? I would try to talk to him, but I feel that it's impossible to reason with him. I'm afraid though that If I don't talk to him he might get very angry and try to hurt me. How do I cut Chris out of my life?
