First of all, she's not your friend if she doesn't trust you. And if she doesn't trust you, then that's her loss and not yours.
Second of all, if it won't even open its eyes or eat a thing, take it to the vet if you want it to live. No one knows what happened to the turtle. Take it to someone who knows more than we do and tell you what's wrong with it.

You should probably take it to a Herp vet...
The turtle shouldn't get sick from escaping from his tank unless the fall was significant and caused internal damage...this sounds more like poor treatment of the turtle..is the water 78F (ideal)- or is it colder, is there proper filtration and is it a large tank, or just a small plastic container? Remember, turtles need to bask under a heat bulb AND a UVB bulb..if these needs are not met the turtle will become lethargic and not eat. If this is the case the vet can give the turtle baytril shots which should help fix him up :)

Won't open its eyes can be a sign of a respiratory infection or similar illness, or several other things.
