Hey there,
Firstly you should know that what happened was not your fault. You very clearly said no and he chose not to listen to you.
I believe that the phases you are going through are completely normal as well. I think that when something like this happens it turns the our emotions upside down. But, you will get to a better place. I think it is important that you consider counseling to deal with all of this. Counseling is probably one of the greatest tools when it comes to healing from rape.
I know your friends are upset about what happened but don't feel pressured into going to the police. Yes, what he did was wrong but filing a police report is a very personal decision. You wouldn't be doing anything wrong if you filed a police report and you do not have to protect this guy. Remember that you need to do what is best for your well-being and if that means you don't file a report that is okay.
Lastly, I think it would be a really good idea if you cut off contact with this. It might be really hard for you to do but he is a negative person and you don't need him in your life. He hurt you very badly and he doesn't deserve a second chance. I think the best thing you can do is block him so that he cannot contact you any longer. The more distance you put between the two of you the better. By cutting off contact you will be taking care of yourself which is something you should always do.
I really hope this helped and if you need anything please feel free to PM/VM me.
