It was a story about a girl who lived in a citadel and the world was about to be destroyed and she met a boy named Delos (I believe) but I don't remember her name. Not much to go on but I remember I loved this book when I was young and I have tried everything I can think of to look it up...

What do you mean by about to be destroyed? (natural) apocalypse of some sort? Sun dying? Implosion/Explosion? Human war (nuclear or otherwise)? Ice age?– Trish LingCommented Jan 8, 2015 at 14:57

I vaguely remember Z for Zachariah is like this, but that was a valley not a citadel, and after the end not before. Anything you can add might help.– RadhilCommented Jan 8, 2015 at 18:29

I think it was like earthquakes or some sort of natural disaster but the ruling class had fore-knowledge of impending disaster and were prepared with spaceships. Delos was a common boy and wasn't allowed to be around her but they bonded anyway and he saves her life. I hate myself right now for not being able to remember more– user40267Commented Jan 9, 2015 at 18:33

How about Skyborn by Marcia Krutchen?
From PaperBack Swap:
Clea is the grand-daughter of the King of Atlantic, but she is bored by her confortable life in the Citadel. Then a mysterious stranger arrives at the palace. Who is Delos, and why has he come? Is he connected with the plot against her grandfather? And what does the King mean when he says they are both Skyborn? In her search for the answers, Clea is caught up in a dangerously exciting adventure.
